    I would agree with the gVF. The reverse looks very nice. Good find, but I hope you didn't pay near the UNC price!

    Readers Digest Token. One of the worst of eBay's offerings I've seen in ages. Very, very rare: even though they made millions o them and handed them out for free. My favorite part is in the description where it says: "Only a few made"!

    Found one similar here, in far worse grade though: http://www.omnicoin.com/coin/1000968

    Yes, I am also clueless about my two! I've put my 1910 on as fine, but cannot decide if that's right! I was just browsing over your collection, and I have to say your 1859 gothic florin looks superb! The reverse - although with some light scratches - does appear very nice for an EF grade!
  6. CartwheelTwopence
    Well done! I can imagine you could actually make a profit by selling it on eBay!
  7. CartwheelTwopence
    Have you recently posted this coin on Omni-Coin? I just saw it on recent additions, listed as EF. That's where I'd put it, too!

    That is of course, as the Kew Gardens had a 210,000 mintage and goes for £30 or so in UNC. Am I right in thinking the Edinburgh £1 was 100,000?
  9. CartwheelTwopence
    I think the Edinburgh £1 is quite rare. Should be one to look out for! I think £20+ in UNC in a few years time.

    I bought it in a lot from a boot sale. Big bag with 100's. £8 if I remember correctly, this is a few years ago. Bits of silver were in there, 2 proof sets, nothing too valuable... then that. I bet it would have been worth a good £60 or so? Shame.
  11. CartwheelTwopence
    BTW, I thought that it was a bit too good... Looking online I could not find one even close to that grade. Such a shame; I thought I had a real treasure there!
  12. CartwheelTwopence
    Oops! That's mine! Listed it today! Do you think it's fake then? I'll remove it instantly should it be...
  13. CartwheelTwopence
    Yeah, I've edited the threepence to aVF. Just to be conservative! Thanks.
  14. CartwheelTwopence
    Does look like in the right place it could fetch £150+. Very good find - keep hunting!
  15. CartwheelTwopence
    Thank you. One day I'll get it looking as good as yours! Watch this space... Oh, and by the way, I really like your copy of Edward III, as authenticated by the British Museum!
  16. CartwheelTwopence
    To be honest, I don't really understand it myself! It could be to pass of as say a sixpence, or just to make it look nicer for a collector who realizes it isn't worth very much?
  17. CartwheelTwopence
    Thanks for the advice - I've chnged the half crown!

    Hi, I've started an Omni-Coin - please bear in mind the only coins on it are the ones I already have pictures of, so are mainly low grade ones! Could some of you have a look to see if I'm doing it right? And apologies if my grading is incorrect; I can change it if it's wrong. (I believe that you can click on the URL below the post). Thank you.
  19. CartwheelTwopence
    That was quick!
  20. CartwheelTwopence
    I have some farthings that are the same, one in gold too. A bit of a shame, as often there are collectible coins underneath!
  21. CartwheelTwopence
    I agree with you. If they were the most popular, they would be far more expensive than they are.
  22. CartwheelTwopence
    Is it just me or did that did seem to sell for a lot? For eBay anyway.
  23. CartwheelTwopence
    EF - and yes, Spink do undergrade. But hey - they still achieve some amazing prices from doing so!!!
  24. CartwheelTwopence
    It came about when the Royal Mint were trialling the Elizabeth II reverse, as they used the George VI reverse, which was toothed. They produced a very small number before making the design fit as beaded for both obverse and reverse.
  25. CartwheelTwopence
    I agree. No problem with the coin, nice piece, nice grade.
